TO VETERINARIANS WHO NEED RAPID TEST KITS, WE'VE GOT YOUR BACK!


Megacor Diagnostik is our Austrian partner who focuses on producing veterinary diagnostic test kits. The range includes IFA test kits, rapid tests, ELISA kits, and also immunoblot assays for companion animals (pets).

The FASTest® range of rapid tests are based on latest rapid immunochromatographic technique. Positive samples contain extracellular antigens or antibodies forming specific antigen-antibody complexes in the conjugate pad area. Migrating (“Lateral Flow”) along the membrane, these antigen-antibody complexes are bound to membrane fixed antibodies or recombinant antigens forming a TEST line.

A correct test procedure will be indicated by a CONTROL line.

ALLERGY TESTING:

Allergies, also known as allergic diseases, are a number of conditions caused by hypersensitivity of the immune system to typical harmless substances in the environment. These diseases include hay fever, food allergies, atopic dermatitis, allergic asthma, and anaphylaxis. The severity of allergies varies from person to person and can range from a minor irritation to anaphylaxis - a potentially life-threatening emergency. Early diagnosis and avoiding exposure to the corresponding allergens are currently effective preventative methods.


The Foresight® Allergen Test Kit is an immunoblotting assay for the qualitative determination of circulating Allergen Specific Immunoglobulin
E (IgE) in human serum.
